While medicine, law, and other professions have made
considerable progress, race and gender equity remains a major
concern in architecture and planning, and among the organizations
that oversee education and practice.

The School of Architecture and Planning was created half a
century ago as a direct challenge to orthodox design education. We
live those original principles today, committed to architecture and
planning as interdisciplinary problem-solving enterprises, rooted
in social engagement, nourished by research-in-practice, animated
by making and doing, and committed to meeting the needs of clients,
communities, and society in an increasingly complex urban
world.

students, like our faculty, are actively engaged in teaching,
research, and service—and are rewarded for their hard
work.

programs and research enterprise. Members of the Dean’s

Hayes Hall comes to life

Since its reopening in fall 2016, Hayes Hall has become a canvas for the work, life and culture of our school, and an inspirational setting for new engagements.

Welcome to the new Hayes Hall

The Grand Reopening of Hayes Hall was a milestone celebration of the history and work of the school, and all that's possible in a building that sets standards in historic preservation, design and sustainability

Here is how old becomes new again

The renovation of Hayes Hall combines historic preservation and inspired design to restore a beloved building and transform education for future architects and planners.

The five-year renovation of Hayes Hall was a monumental and
milestone effort for the university, school and community - and an
object lesson in the principle that most great things are the
product of collective effort and collaboration.

Across the eras, alumni, friends, students, faculty and
community members came together to celebrate the legacy of the
school as it marks 50 years from its founding. The conversation was
equally forward-looking - the start of an important conversation
about what's possible together.

The renovation of Hayes Hall combines a complete exterior restoration with a reimagining of its interior, featuring day-lit open spaces, widened corridors and informal learning zones throughout the building.
